How to maintain ViewState of dynamically created user controls? For example, If I am creating few instances of a User control using LoadControl(...) method, then how do I make sure that the viewstate of all these controls is during postbacks?

Wrong. ViewState of dynamic controls is maintained automatically so long as you load the control on every request and add it to the control collection.

Any control by default has viewstate enabled. So when creating a dynamic control there is no need to set the viewstate to true - that is the default.
Another important consideration is the time in life cycle when dynamic controls should be created or re-created.
Keepng in mind that the viewstate is loaded between Init() and Load() events of the page during postback, we need to create controls in the page init event. This will load the view state of the controls as expected after the init event is complete.
